I'm a recruiter and only work with SME's and Start-Ups. I'm especially effective in helping these types of companies to hire salespeople. I fill nearly 100% of all the vacancies I work on. Recruitment agencies have a 20% success rate - even the specialists. If you had a vacancy and weren't able to fill it yourself, who would you rather work with - a recruiter who might fill your job or a recruiter who would definitely fill it? I also mentor a small number of recruiters who want to learn how to get off the contingency hamster wheel. I have just launched a training service that teaches experienced contingency recruiters how to sell retained-fee services to their clients, without changing the types of roles they currently specialise in. Part of my relevancy as a recruitment trainer is that I still fill jobs, I never work on contingency and I know what it takes to sell a real recruitment service in today's hugely changing landscape. In addition, I'm developing a course for inhouse recruiters that will make their dealings with recruitment agencies more cost-effective - details to follow. Specialties: recruitment, recruitment training, retained-fee services, insourced recruitment, candidate selection, recruitment communications, recruitment advertising, advertised search, employee referral programmes, supplier management, employer branding, sales, human resources
